Come and join our professional coaching staff to get a "jump start" on your
2018 - 2019 ski season during the Yellowstone Ski Festival, November 20-24,
2018. The staff provides a solid understanding of technique, and gives you
tools and drills to gain efficiency and strength at the camp and throughout your
ski season. The coaching staff is composed of an elite group of XC ski
professionals which includes retired world class skiers, coaches and
professional instructors. Coaches will rotate through groups every ½ day session
so you will get exposure to different coaches throughout your clinic. The
coaches think snow and skiing just about year round, and are ready to give you
just the tips and techniques you need to launch your season with the best focus
for you.

This is no stand-around-and-learn kind of deal either. The
coaches know that the best way ingrain effective movement is through practice.
Plan on logging some k's. You'll also get feedback, in the dose that's right for
you. While some just need a new focus and mileage, others benefit from a more
consistent stream of information about whether and how much they're performing
the task to the desired degree. The coaches know how to pace the flow of
information, and offer up a great balance of new information, drills, and
practice.

Not only will you get great instruction and a fitness bump
for skiing 1, 2, 3 or 5 days, but you'll be immersed in a touchstone event for
the cross country ski culture, with on snow demos, an indoor expo and lectures
in the evening. Event organizers bring in a keynote lecture to entertain and
inspire. There's even sessions called Women, Wine and Wax or Whiskers, Whiskey
and Wax. Some of the special offerings include:

5 and 3-Day Skate & Classic Technique for Performance (all levels)

3-Day Skate & Classic Camp for Master Racers
